Happy Steak and Blowjob Day!


Sorry about the lack of blogging recently, but I have not been feeling my best after having my wisdom teeth out. Incidentally, if you want all the gory details you can find them here.

Anyway, as you will quite possibly be aware, today is Steak and Blowjob Day.

I feel as if I ought to be angry about this, but I'm really not. All it is is understandable Valentine's Day backlash. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Valentine's Day is total bollocks. It creates obligation for men (buy women stupid gifts etc) obligation for women (put out cos he bought you stupid gifts etc) and excuses men for any general crapness on the other 364 days of the year, providing they remember to buy you the goddamn roses on Valentine's Day.

Steak and Blowjob Day is pretty simple. It's not expensive, it doesn't require much effort, you don't even have to put any thought into what to do. Okay, so demanding sex acts is a pretty unpleasant thing to do really, but is anybody actually taking it that seriously? And as for men who don't like steak, or who aren't so keen on blow jobs, I'm sure suitable substitutes can be found.

I actually feel kind of left out because I really, really, really love steak, much more than I love anything I might be likely to receive on Valentine's Day (except perhaps for jewellery. Hey, a girl can dream, right?) But steak is MAN FOOD. Girls are not supposed to eat steak - it's got saturated fat y'all, it's gonna make you fat y'all. And also, is a blow job such a terrible chore? To be honest, I think I'd probably quite enjoy participating in Steak and Blowjob Day. I would however draw the line at the guy eating the steak whilst receiving the blow job.

Sorry but I don't find this particularly sexist or offensive at all. The only major problem I have with it is that if I had a boyfriend who was particularly enamoured of steak and/or blow jobs, I would like to think that I would bestow these things upon him more than once a year.

The first thing I thought was, "How the hell does one discover that it's Steak and Blowjob Day? I haven't seen any signs in Clinton." Not that I usually buy cards from Clinton.

Your dental experience sounds horrendous. Glad to hear you're improving, though. God, I hope I never have to have wisdom teeth out. *shudder*

Hmm, when I saw that I assumed the guy would be *cooking* the steak (you know, barbecueing/grilling it or whatever, since women are supposed to cook except when it's outside and then they suddenly don't know what they're doing) and that in rewards for the man grilling the delicious steak, he got a blowjob, like the whole roses-sex thing. Maybe I'm just being optimistic.

I'm still trying to get over Valentine's day. This year I decided to buy into the cliche and was totally dissapointed with my $15 box of chocolates. I way preferred the scarf I forced my boyfriend to knit last year. I forsee dissapointment in coming valentine's days if I don't lower my expectations! Dumb cliche'd holiday.
